  • Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2024-02-29)
    This paper proposes a cache consistency scheme based on a previously proposed architecture for caching database data in MANETs. The original scheme for data caching stores the queries that are submitted by requesting nodes ...
  • Al Sayegh, Houssam (Lebanese American University, 2023-01-24)
    Shear walls are key structural elements when it comes to resisting lateral loads in reinforced concrete buildings. Thus, they are exposed to extensive loading during earthquakes. Shear walls designed according to modern ...
  • Habchi, Wassim; Eyheramendy, Dominique; Vergne, Philippe; Morales, Guillermo (2017-08-22)
    Habchi, W., Eyheramendy, D., Vergne, P., & Morales, G. (2008, September). Stabilized Finite Elements for Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Problems. In ECT2008 Sixth International Conference on Engineering Computational Technology.
  • Habchi, Wassim; Eyheramendy, D.; Vergne, P.; Morales-Espejel, G. (2015-09-21)
    This work presents a model for elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication problems. A finite element full-system approach is employed. The hydrodynamic and elastic problems are solved simultaneously which leads to fast convergence ...
  • Tabbara, Mazen R.; Kazemi, Mohammad T.; Bazant, Zdenek P. (2018-02-20)
    Micromechanics of damage in brittle heterogeneous materials and composites requires analysis of a system of interacting cracks. The response path of a crack system typically exhibits bifurcations such that the states on ...
  • Tabbara, M.R.; Bazant, Z.P. (2018-02-20)
    This paper presents general thermodynamic criteria for the stable states and stable path of structures with an interacting system of cracks. In combination with numerical finite element results for various cracked structure ...
  • Shakrina, Youssef (Lebanese American University, 2021-05-25)
    Traditional electric power systems have several challenges in maintaining their reliability and being able to meet the demand of the consumers at peak hours. Additionally, environmental concerns may arise from several ...
  • Grey, Ian M.; McClean, Brian; Bames-Holmes, Dermot (2019-03-11)
    Staff attributions for challenging behaviour are purported to relate to staff responses to such behaviour. To elucidate this relationship, much recent work has relied on eliciting staff attributions to written descriptions ...
  • Grey, Ian M.; Hastings, Richard P.; McClean, Brian (2019-03-14)
  • Khreidieh, Said I. (Loughborough University of Technology, 2018-04-30)
    This work has surveyed staffing procedures at the Lebanese American University Library LAUL (Beirut campus), comparing these with authoritative concepts of human resource management. The research methods were based on ...
  • Abdalla, Eddie; Pisters, Peter (2015-11-10)
    Esophageal and gastric cancers are distinct carcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract, although the distinction between them becomes less clear at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). Increasingly accurate staging is ...
  • Van Deusen, Mathew; Abdalla, Eddie; Vauthey, Nicolas (2015-11-11)
    Evaluation and treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is dependent on accurate staging. Tumor-specific factors and the degree of underlying liver disease must be considered when evaluating patients with ...
  • Saab, Samer S.; Nakad, Zahi S. (2016-02-24)
    Indoor positioning systems (IPSs) locate objects in closed structures such as office buildings, hospitals, stores, factories, and warehouses, where Global Positioning System devices generally do not work. Most available ...
  • Nehme, Rita (Lebanese American University, 2011-09-22)
    The adoption of the Taif Agreement in 1990 drew the end of a fifteen year period of civil war in Lebanon. This agreement (officially, the Document of National Accord) has introduced various modifications in all sectors; ...
  • Karaman, Nadia Izzat (Lebanese American University, 2012-11-05)
  • Na'was, Tarek; Fawaz, Adam; Rteil, Ali; Itani, Malek (2018-06-27)
    Staphylococcus aureus isa gram positive coccus thathas long been associated with many serious infections amongst which foodborne illnesses are common. The enteric pathogenicity of this bacterium is mediated mainly by its ...
  • El-Sitt, Sally; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2015-12-17)
    RhoGTPases are defined as a family of 20 small G proteins playing important roles in almost every cellular process. RhoGTPases are guanine nucleotide-binding proteins existing in two forms: the active form which is GTP ...
  • Saab, Sahar S. (Lebanese American University, 2018-10-01)
    Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed solid organ tumor and one of the main leading causes of death – due to cancerous tumors- among men in the world. Malignancy of a tumor is characterized by the rapid and ...
  • StarD13 
    Jaafar, Leila; Chamseddine, Zeinab; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2020-05-01)
    StarD13 is a tumor suppressor and a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for Rho GTPases. Thus, StarD13 regulates cell survival pathways and induces apoptosis in a p53-dependent and independent manners. In tumors, StarD13 is ...
  • Hanna, Samer; Khalil, Bassem; Nasrallah, Anita; Saykali, Bechara A.; Sobh, Rania; Nasser, Selim; El-Sibai, Mirvat (2015-12-18)
